Band Saw Record BS300E

MID RANGE SPEC AND BUILD QUALITY BUT AT AN ECONOMY RANGE PRICE.

This machine aims to redefine what can be bought in this sector of the market. Sharing many of the same basic construction and capacities of the BS300X but with a few non-essential features replaced with simpler systems, it enables a serious machine to be bought at a bargain price.

Featuring a solid fence, vital for accurate ripping, which has a heavy extrusion mounted on a cast iron base and fixed to a solid steel bar for maximum rigidity and support. This is an industrial Startrite design and much more solid than other fences at this level.

The machine also features a solid double trunnion table mount to provide rigid table support and one-handed table tilt on a smooth rack and pinion. Adding to the structural integrity of the BS300E are the cast iron bandwheels which are fitted with precision ground rubber tyres to provide a flywheel effect for smooth cutting. A simple but solid blade tension indicator is fitted to the rear of the machine to allow for easy setup.

The BS300E is also supplied with a basic wheelkit as standard though the optional BS300W pedal operated wheelkit is recommended if the machine will need moving more than occasionally. Exceptional value.

An essential addition to the BS300E bandsaw when regular movement is required to supplement the basic kit supplied with the saw. This wheelkit makes the machine instantly transportable without the need for a jacking bar or any other form of support. By simply pressing the pedal, the machine is lifted on to castors for easy movement around the workshop.
